this is just out in virginia. i went over there today to listen. you see people carrying their firearms in the national park. one of their complaints was that they believe this president wants to infringe on their second amendment rights. many said that nothing president obama has done as yet would take away or limit their gun rights, but they do remember something he said as a candidate that leaves them worried. >> it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. >> so are gun rights being limited or are they expanding in an obama administration? let's go to the magic wall and put to the test some of the claims demonstrated at the rally. the red state has the most restrictive gun laws. that's california. then the greener the state, the least restricted the gun laws. the darker green have the least restrictive. state-made firearms and ammunition are except from federal regulations.
